Getting Started with Consent Experiences

Consent Experiences is Transcend's no-code consent interface builder. It gives compliance and governance teams full control over how consent banners and modals look, feel, and behave without filing a single engineering ticket.

Using a WYSIWYG editor, you can design, preview, and publish consent UIs across every jurisdiction your organization operates in. All from one interface. Changes go live in minutes, not days.

  • Privacy & Compliance team members who need to configure compliant UIs and respond quickly to regulatory changes (GDPR, CCPA, and more)
  • Marketing Teams who own the properties where consent banners are deployed and need them to match brand standards
  • Legal & Governance Teams who need to review and approve consent copy before it goes live

You don't need to write code or CSS. If you can edit a document, you can use Consent Experiences.

Consent Experiences is built around two UI components, a Banner and a Modal, that work together to deliver a complete consent flow to your site visitors.

The Banner is the initial prompt visitors see when they land on your site. It's lightweight and designed for quick action, accept, reject, or learn more.

The Modal goes deeper, giving visitors a full view of your data purposes so they can make granular consent choices. You can use either component on its own, or combine them into a single connected experience.

You configure content and behavior in the experience editor, and apply visual styling like colors, buttons, logo through a reusable theme that can be shared across experiences.

Experience - A configured consent UI (banner and/or modal) that can be assigned to one or more regional experiences.

Theme - A reusable set of visual styles (colors, logo, buttons) applied to an experience.

Regional Experience - The logic layer that determines which experience and purposes a visitor sees based on their location.

Draft - An experience being worked on; not yet published or assignable to a live regional experience.

Active - An experience staged for publishing and available to assign to a regional experience.

Published - An experience deployed to production and live for end users.

Make sure the following are in place before setting up Consent Experiences:

  1. Transcend's Airgap.js is installed on your site.
  2. Your Regional Experiences are configured in Consent Management.
  3. Consent Experiences is enabled in Developer Settings → Visual Editor. See Enabling Consent Experiences for instructions.
